| 6.1 |  | **Return**. Upon completion of each use of the Aircraft by Lessee during the Term, Lessee shall
return the Aircraft to the Lessor by delivering the same to the Operating Base, fully equipped
with all Engines installed thereon. Upon each such delivery, the Aircraft shall be in as good
operating condition as at it was in when Lessor delivered the Aircraft to Lessee, ordinary
wear and tear excepted, and the United States standard airworthiness certificate issued for
the Aircraft shall be present on board the Aircraft and said standard airworthiness
certificate shall be effective in accordance with FAR 21.181(a)(1). Nothing contained in this
Section 6.1 may be interpreted to require Lessee to perform any maintenance or other
obligation which is the responsibility of the Lessor pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof; provided,
however, that Lessee shall be obligated to ensure that Lessor is advised of any maintenance
requirement, dangerous condition, malfunction or worn part that may be discovered during each
period during the Term commencing with the delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee and terminating
when the Aircraft has been redelivered to Lessor in the condition required hereunder. |
